You can get at the captured nuts and apply penetrating oil by getting
under the cowl. It's not easy though.
As I was dissembling a parts car, I used a screwdriver bit that fit the
slot in a socket wrench for more leverage, but I still had to drill one
of them and use a screw extractor. Another "tool" is to use an open end
wrench on one of those large, square shaft screwdrivers that Craftman
makes.
